Abstract

A case of achondroplasia combined with pituitary hypoplasia in 6-year-old boy is described. It is recommended to carry out magnetic resonance imaging of hypophysis in patients with achondroplasia to identify its possible hypo- or aplasia. In the presence of hypopituitarism in patients with achondroplasia, it is necessary to carry out appropriate hormone replacement therapy.
